US Banknotes

Not currently, but in the past the US issued large-size bills in denominations of $500, $1,000, $5,000 and $10,000. There were also a few special $100,000 bills printed for use within the government but these never circulated.

Despite many internet legends to the contrary, there has NEVER, EVER been a US $1 million bill. Novelty shops sell made-up ones for a few bucks and occasionally people are duped into thinking they're real.

Printing of large-denomination bills ended in 1945 due to low demand. In 1969 President Nixon issued an order stopping distribution of any that remained, in an effort to stop their use in money laundering and other criminal activities.

High-value bills were never officially withdrawn so technically you could still spend one but it wouldn't make a lot of sense - they're worth much more to collectors.

Even though some people speculate about new high-denomination bills ($200 and $500 are most often mentioned) the ubiquitous use of credit cards and e-transfers means that the government is very unlikely to print anything new in the foreseeable future.

No. Nothing close to that description was ever made.

The US did print special 1934 $100,000 gold certificates but these were never circulated. There are many novelty items and counterfeits that try to play off the fame of those certificates but none of them are worth more than the paper they're printed on.

As genuine currency, no. The largest real bill ever printed was $100,000.

Banknote collectors consider "enhanced" bills to be altered currency with little or no numismatic interest. Fifty years on, there may be collectors of Kennedy memorabilia who would be interested in one but it's doubtful that they would pay very much for it.

Red seals on bills printed from 1928 to 1966 indicate they're United States Notes. The color distinguishes them from silver certificates (blue) and Federal Reserve Notes (green). US Notes were mostly issued as $2 and $5 bills but at one time or another nearly every denomination had at least one series of US Notes.

US Notes were issued directly by the federal government rather than through the Federal Reserve System. The two kinds of currency served the same purpose so production of US Notes was suspended in 1971 to save on printing and distribution costs.

The US dollar coin produced between 1971 and 1978 had a portrait of Dwight David Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States, on the front.

The seal color is actually considered to be yellow rather than gold. All yellow-seal $1 silver certificates were dated 1935 A.

As of 12/2011, these bills sell for $10 to $20 in circulated condition. A nice uncirculated one can bring $200 or more.

During WWII special bills were printed for use in threatened or combat areas. They had distinctive ink colors (yellow for North Africa and brown for Hawaii) so they could be easily recognized and declared worthless if they fell into enemy hands.

No one's picture is on a US million dollar bill because that denomination doesn't exist. Any "million dollar" bills you may see are well-known novelty items that sell for a few bucks online and in gift shops.

The largest bill printed for circulation was worth $10,000, and the largest bills ever printed were a set of special $100,000 gold certificates made for internal bank transfers.

US $2 bills are printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the same agency that prints all US currency.

Contrary to popular myth, $2 bills aren't rare, haven't been discontinued, and are still being produced. They only make up about 1% of all paper money in circulation but that still amounts to hundreds of millions of bills.

"G" is the Federal Reserve District letter rather than the series letter; if there is one it's next to the date.

The fact that your bill is a Federal Reserve Note means it was printed in 1976 or later and is not rare. If you got it in change it's only worth face value.

It depends on its date, series letter, and condition. A 1957, 57-A, or 57-B bill is so common that you'd be lucky to get more than 25¢ or 50¢ extra if you sold it to a dealer.

An older bill might bring more but again it depends on those same factors. If the extra value is significant and you have an eBay account or something similar, you might be able to get close to its retail value by selling it online.

Please check the date again and post a new, separate question. The US didn't print any bills of any denomination dated 1930.

Yes

It's still worth $50.

It's a blend of 75% cotton and 25% linen with red and blue fibers mixed in.

No, although the components are similar. The "paper" used for US currency is made from a special fiber blend consisting of roughly 3/4 cotton and 1/4 linen.

Generally about $1000, but this depends on a few factors.

Could be worth something, depending on its condition and variety (signature combinations, variants, etc).

"F" is the highest series letter for 1928 $5 red-seal notes. Please check your bill again and see the question "What is the value of a 1928 US 5 dollar bill with a red seal?" for more information.

Yes, but it wouldn't make much sense because the bill is probably worth more to a collector depending on its condition.

The US never withdrew or demonetized any older currency except for gold certificates, so a 1934-series bill is still legal tender along with other old Federal Reserve Notes, silver certificates, United States Notes, and so on.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing makes uncut sheets available to collectors. However there's not a very large market for them. It's not a scam but it's also not likely anyone will get rich buying them.

Not rare. Is worth only $1.50 in circulated condition and $7+ in uncirculated condition.

1928 A and 1928 B are the only small-size $2 bills that carry a significant premium. Circulated bills with an "A" series letter might bring $50 to $80 at retail depending on their condition, while "B" bills retail for $70 to $175.

By contrast, nearly all pre-1928, large-size $2 bills sell for significant premiums. Values range from $50-$75 for a 1917 $2 US Note up to $550-$2500 for an 1890 Treasury Note. Uncirculated specimens can be worth even more.

The US dollar bill with the highest circulation today is the $100.

Other bills with a higher amount are currently not in circulation. These include $500, $1000, $5000, and $10,000. While technically still legal to use, they're worth more to collectors.

There were also special $100,000 bills printed for use inside the government but these were never available to the general public.
